The University of Chicago Needs Some Occupy Wall Street

If you’ll recall, the brief but noisy Occupy Wall street movement was all about protesting the “One Percent,” those evil rich folks that apparently return nothing to the nation. Well a look at the compensation of those at the University of Chicago in President Obama’s home city shows that the Occupy folks were protesting the […]

ISIS Imposes Democrat Style Nanny State Regs

Liberals loyally waiting for Obama’s first foreign policy success need wait no longer. Thanks to his premature pullout from Iraq, the country is falling to radical Islamists who are not only engaging in mass executions but also advancing public health by promoting the progressive agenda: In a major coup for public health and safety the […]

Child Rape Case Reveals Hillary’s Lighter Side

You can’t say Hillary Clinton doesn’t have a sense of humor. For example, helping a child rapist get off with a 1-year sentence (minus time served) really tickles her funny bone: Newly discovered audio recordings of Hillary Clinton from the early 1980s include the former first lady’s frank and detailed assessment of the most significant […]

Bummer: Elected Office Seniority Not The Boon It Once Was

Good! (The Hill) Seniority was once valued in politics, but this year, incumbents are having trouble convincing voters that politicians get better with age. It’s an issue that was front and center last week in 76-year-old Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) primary runoff battle with state Sen. Chris McDaniel, and was a driving force in 91-year-old […]

Illegals Now Being Dropped Off Via Jet Skis

Mr. Obama can talked about there being more deportations than ever, but that notion has now gone out the window. Most of those deportations were illegals caught crossing and almost immediately sent home. Due to Obama admin policies and discourse, illegals, especially young ones, are streaming across the border, some with parents, some without. They […]

Obama Hits Record High Disapproval Rating

Is he still trying to blame all of his failings on Bush? Obama’s disapproval rating recently hit a record high. 55 percent of Americans now disapprove of the job Obama is doing, breaking the previous record high set in August 2011. Obama’s approval-disapproval has trended downward quickly from just two days ago on June 13 […]

Why Have Americans Stopped Asking These 5 Vital Questions?

  “Remember, it’s not only the questions you ask, but the questions you fail to ask, that shape your destiny.”: —: Tony Robbins Believing that America will continue to be strong, prosperous and free no matter what we do is just as foolish as believing that a human being will continue to be healthy, happy and free […]

A Bitter After-Taste

The news from Iraq that Islamic terrorists have now taken over cities that American troops liberated during the Iraq war must have left an especially bitter after-taste to Americans who lost a loved one who died taking one of those cities, or to a survivor who came back without an arm or leg, or with […]

President Obama Vs George Washington On Prisoner Exchange (Part 2)

Last week, I spoke about how President Barack Obama justified his prisoner swap of five senior Taliban leaders for U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl by saying former military leaders and presidents, including George Washington, have engaged in prisoner of war exchange, too. Obama’s exact words were: “This is what happens at the end of wars. […]

Andy McCarthy’s Faithless Execution

My good friend Andy McCarthy has another book out, “Faithless Execution,” which couldn’t be timelier in view of the deplorable state of current events in America. Though I have been a consistent critic of President Barack Obama’s — decrying his lawlessness and his disastrous and destructive policies — I have always replied in the negative […]

Tribune Content Agency

“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain…” (The […]

When Is a Scandal Not a Scandal?

President Barack Obama has flouted the law again and again — unilaterally rewriting the health law at least 18 times since passage; changing immigration law by executive fiat (after having explained that to do so would be beyond the scope of his constitutional authority); dictating that union claims should trump creditors in the General Motors […]

Haven’t We Already Done Enough Damage In Iraq?

In 2006, I invited the late General Bill Odom to address my: Thursday: Congressional luncheon group. Gen. Odom, a former NSA director, called the Iraq war “the greatest strategic disaster in American history,” and told the surprised audience that he could not understand why Congress had not impeached the president for pushing this disaster on the United […]

Obama Follows Polls in Foreign Policy but Public Turns Against Him

Polls show that most Americans wanted the United States to withdraw from Iraq. Barack Obama did indeed withdraw U.S. forces from Iraq, not troubling to negotiate a readily negotiable status of forces agreement that would have left a contingent of American soldiers there. Polls show that most Americans want the United States to withdraw from […]

Eldon Samuel III, accused of murdering his father and brother on March 24, says the stress of living with an autistic sibling caused him to snap. The kicker? Samuel is only 14 years old.

Palin on IRS “Losing” Lerner Emails: Obama Worse Than Nixon

And she’s right. : At least Nixon had the courtesy to resign in disgrace: “Remember the 18 minute gap in Nixon’s White House tapes during the Watergate scandal? Now Obama’s IRS top dog claims a communications gap of 1,052,000 minutes,” Palin: said. “Hmm. Wonder if the press will recognize similarities. Maybe a smidgen?” She wondered what would […]

His School Wouldn’t Let Him Speak About Christianity; He Did Anyway Against the Administration [VIDEO]

This was a truly inspiring video of a young man going against the administration’s approval. Speaking as valedictorian he told the student body to ALWAYS stand for what you believe in… no matter the consequences! Brooks Hamby seems to be a pretty successful student – mock-trial star, cross-country runner, U.S. Senate page and high school […]

A humorous look at my (lack of a) sex life

I’m a virgin. Sexually abstinent. I’ve never “hooked up,” “been laid,” or “gotten any.” And I’m cool with that. And I get a kick out of watching people’s eyes grow as big as dinner plates when they hear my sex life is non-existent. I was at the gym a few years ago, stretching after lifting […]

Kit Carson Becomes an Unperson

As George Orwell observed, “He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.” Even as progressives consolidate their control of the present, they are using it to remake the past to support the future they intend to inflict. This means obliterating the cultural heritage of the American West, […]

Illinois Ranks as ‘Worst’ For Small Businesses

Once again Illinois and California are neck-and-neck in the calculations for the worst of the worst U.S. states, this time in a measure of how friendly the states are for the growth of small businesses.
